Emmanuel Eboue rubbishes claims that his ex-wife took all his properties after their divorce

The Ivorian International has come out to rubbish the disheartening rumours that sprung up on the internet that he has lost all his properties to the ex-wife after their divorce.

Somewhere in January this year it was reported Emmanuel Ebou was rendered homeless and struggling to afford 3 square meals because he had gone broke after losing every bit of his wealth to his ex-wife Aurelie Bertrand.

During an interview with Ghana’s Kofi Mensah on Empire FM, the former EPL star had the following to say about the disturbing rumours;

When [people] say Emmanuel Eboue lost everything, it’s not nice…

Because I had a divorce [case] and they [court] said my wife won, they gave her all my properties – my two houses, money and the cars that I had in England.

I wasn’t worried about it because I expected that she was going to use it to take care of my children.

When they [court] said that, I was very disappointed… To be honest, for the first time, I was very down but after that, I prayed and forgot about all of that.”

So after that, I left and returned back to Africa. I have my own properties in Africa and so I live with that.

When I hear people say Emmanuel Eboue lost everything, I laugh. I have properties in Ghana, I have properties in my home country (Ivory Coast).

I live very comfortably and I thank God. So when people keep talking and say Emmanuel Eboue doesn’t have anything, he can’t eat, doesn’t have a place to stay, it’s not true,

The 37-year-old also admitted that he battled with depression from the divorce ruling.
